this paper presents optimal control method to path planning of mobile robots with flexible joints. dynamic equations are derived and additional kinematic constraints are used to solve the extra dofs arose from base mobility. then with modeling the elasticity at each joint as a linear torsinal spring, the set of equations are formed. the hamiltonian function is formed and the necessary condition...

An approximate numerical mthod is presented for analysis and determination of modal characteristics in straight, pretwisted non-unifom helicopter blades. The analysis considers the coupled flapwise bending (out of plane), chordwise bending (in plane), and torsion vibration of both rotating and non-rotating blades. The proposed method is based on the integral expansion of Green functions (struct...

As a service organization, for an academic institution, knowledge sharing is a critical process that needed to be done and developed always in order to achieve sustainable advantage, emphasizing its role as center of excellence. The research objection was to explore the relationship between the three constructs: Knowledge Sharing, Absorptive Capacity and Channel Richness. The conceptual and str...

with rapid economic development and industrialization, the construction industry continues to rank among the most hazardous industries in the world. therefore, construction safety is always a significant concern for both practitioners and researchers. the objective of this study was to create a structural modeling of components that influence the safety performance in construction projects.we f...

background: there can be little doubt that the construction is the most hazardous industry in the worldwide. this study was designed to modeling the factors affecting unsafe behavior from the perspective of safety supervisors. methods: the qualitative research was conducted to extract a conceptual model. a structural model was then developed based on a questionnaire survey (n=266) by two stage ...

In spite of the fact that we are in a digital economy, online sales represent less than 2% of the overall retail business. Online retail sales are expected to grow significantly in the future. This presents a significant opportunity for businesses to increase their share of the online retail business and in the process contribute towards the digital economy. In this longitudinal study, we intro...

In this age of modern era, the use of internet must be maximized. Yeah, internet will help us very much not only for important thing but also for daily activities. Many people now, from any level can use internet. The sources of internet connection can also be enjoyed in many places. As one of the benefits is to get the on-line structural equation modeling a bayesian approach book, as the world...

In this paper, I discuss a research agenda on the study of human capital accumulation in the early years, with a particular focus on developing countries. I discuss several methodological issues, from the use of structural models, to the importance of measurement and the development of new measurement tools. I present a conceptual framework that can be used to frame the study of human capital a...
